New Mini-ATX Build

elusiven · 23 Oct 2014 at 20:19

Hello

I'm building a new mini-atx from your website. max budget is about ~500/550

I need i5 or i7 quad core to go with a small case like this:

And this SSD:

So far I have only seen this mobo that is compatible with that case:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-455-GI

and then i7:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-405-IN

Would that work? Or 120w supply is not enough ?? The cpu takes 77W

I also have a ram SO-DIMM 1600mhz 1.35v that i arleady bought, would it work with this mobo????

So far this costs me £431.92

I want to run 24/7 a couple of web servers on it and maybe a game server. I will probably end up putting linux or windows server 2012 on it. (arleady have license key)

Just looking to build something quiet, low power and very small.

I have looked at NUCs, but they are only dual cores, and i would like more performance.

The question is though... Will i7 run on this case?? Case has external 120w and cpu runs at 77w

Yes I am well aware its 77w.... My question is though, will it run with this?

game servers like arma 3,2 / life is feudal / rust

I was going to buy a mac mini for 570... So I don't mind getting more performance for less price if you know what I mean.. =)

This guy managed the same type of cpu (77w) in a less powerful power supply

http://www.overclock.net/t/1330425/build-log-antec-isk-110-tinier-than-tiny

Thats 90w, This one has 120w.

I am not gonna fit 250 watt power supply into that case.. So that's a no. Unless you have anything that is external.

Right okay, i just realised this motherboard only supports up to 8gb ram which is no good at all.

Can you guys advise me on any mini-itx build? I want it to be very very small. I5/i7 or a decent amd apu and AT LEAST 8 gb of ram, I would love to have SO-DIMM motherboard compatible too.

any ideas please?

I want to run game servers and I arleady mentioned it in previous posts.

All I want is a good CPU 16gb ram and mini itx size as small as possible

I could probably buy intel nuc but the ones on ur website are dual core only

Well as long as it's very quiet then I don't mind a normal mini itx case. I want to run a lot of things at the same time so perhaps VoIP server with 512 slots. 2-3 game servers, web server. I mentioned apu because perhaps it would've been nice if I could sometimes play archeage on lowest details on 2 accounts. I already have a gaming rig that I use for gaming. But if it would be possible for me to get mini itx and a very very quiet psu then that's ok
